⋆some annoying things that i've experienced but of course i use one piece men to interpret c:⋆

Mihawk

Mihawk, driving, and Y/N being a passenger princess or sumn: “Y/N, if you don’t get your funky, foul feet off of my dashboard..” “Oh look, you did an allegory, I learned that from one of your poems ♡” “….its alliteration”

Rosinante

“I mean this in the nicest way possible when I say I will smash your phone into smithereens the next time I can hear your phone through my calm sphere – particularly when your are on the OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE WITH IT ON FULL BLAST, SPEAKER BARELY HANGING ON THE LAST COIL OF LIFE AT 3 IN THE MORNING, WATCHING THE MOST OBNOXIOUS TIKTOK TO EVER BE CREATED ON THAT GOD FORSAKEN APP.” “….sorry I didn’t realize it was so loud…” Y/N opens the phone only for a shrill ‘oh noo’ to ring out,  causing Rosinante to yeet it on the ground as result, just like this ⇩⇩⇩⇩:

Oven

“Y/N, WHEN I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FOOD SPLATTER IN THE MICROWAVE, THAT DID NOT MEAN I VOLUNTEERED TO HEAT EVERYTHING IN MY MOUTH.” “…..” “AND YOU WILL  STOP THROWING RAW FOOD ON ME. I AM NEITHER A SKILLET NOR A GRIDDLE.”

Benn

*rapid succession of knocking on the bathroom door* “The faster you knock DOES NOT mean I will poop any faster!!” “…..” *rapid succession of open palm slaps against the door*

Shanks

“Calling me a stinky ass hoe and following it with ‘no offense’ is still pretty offensive, Y/N. I definitely took a shower this morning and even used a new 50-in-1 shampoo, sooo..”

Law

*Y/N takes a giant chomp out of kitkat bar* “I know you didn’t just eat that Kitkat bar like that.” “Give me a break, Law.” “Get out.”

Kid

Y/N patiently waits in the right-turn lane for the red light to turn green without a signal on through 2 traffic cycles and for at least 10 minutes until there is an opening to go. “Wait, you really did that?” “Did what?” “You Really Sat In This Lane, Only To Turn???” “Well, yeah, it’s the safest way to turn, especially at this intersection! ♡” “YOU REALLY SAT HERE FOR 3 HOURS WHEN WE COULD HAVE GONE FROM JUMP STREET????!” “I-its better safe than sorry, there’s still oncoming traffic when you make the turn-“ “JUST TURN.” “Only when the light is green for go and not red for stop!” Y/N’s driving privileges consequently has been revoked when driving with others

the intersection may or may not have looked like this btw: ↑  ↿↱   ↱

WHAT TERRIBLE THINGS ARE YOU DOING TO MY BUG [mallrad] [i saw ur repost of nhw mal lmao]

I NEEEEED INFROMATION RN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INFODUMP AS MUCH AS YOU WANT PLEASE

HI KOI!!!!!!!!!! sorry this has taken me forever to answer ive had a busy work week ouagh. but its MAL TIME NOW. well. technically amity time bc im gonna talk about the setting in general because i love it. whatever go my scarab!

IM GOING TO ANSWER THIS ASSUMING U KNOW WHAT NHW IS. IF YOU DONT IM SO SORRY but also the masterpost is HERE which has basically all the context u need i think.

awesome place to start is reading This Post because it basically lays out the essentials for amity in general and gives you a good idea of their whole deal (theres also this one. which is a joke. but its my favorite ever and i think you will appreciate the clarence)

since i mostly ran thru the basics of their plot timeline super quick in that post i can get into details in this one :] putting a lot of it under the cut so its not 12 miles long hehe

i really like leaving a lot of the amity stuff to be mystery partially because it will literally NEVER come up in the "canon timeline" or whatever since it all happened x number of years ago and partially because giving it an air of mystery makes it seem more myth/legend than anything concrete. which!! since its supposed to be the nhw equivalent of the spirit world i love the idea that its vague and mysterious and hard to comprehend that the Chaos Zone (colloquial name for the quarantine area around the city where they keep the trickster trapped) used to be like. a relatively peaceful idyllic city with only a small handful of capes and not a lot of action. that being said i do in fact have clam flavored brain worms which means i cannot help thinking about clarence and mal in so much detail that is SO unnecessary to the rest of the story other than serving to make what happened to them more tragic.

ANYWAY. all that being said that is my excuse for not having any solid ideas on mals trigger event. ive kind of played around with the idea that he's a case 53 (cauldron dropped him into the city mid-ghoul transformation and full of amnesia so he had. basically no identity before then and no idea where or who or what he was so he just kind of started breaking things) but honestly i havent thought abt it all that much bc its just not that important. either way. he started out as an unaffiliated rogue/villain. as ghoul, he was in his brute form like 90% of the time and behaved pretty much like a less cannibalistic venom. just kind of like. causing damage just because he can. really the ONLY two capes in amity at the time were Whisperer (clarence) and Afterlife (duck) (<< first duck mention btw!). Afterlife is a lot more apathetic to things like this (hes old. hes tired. hes survived WELL past the cape life expectancy but theres no real protocol for capes retiring because usually they just. die. so hes still here) and he really only responds to things he deems an emergency, and some rando causing property damage isnt enough to put ghoul on his radar. so that left Whisperer to deal with him. his powers are very nonviolent non-confrontational so his way of dealing with villains is to use his. basically tranquilizer powers to get them to stop doing whatever theyre doing (its a good thing amity is peaceful. this is NOT a. super great awesome offensive power and he can get very easily overwhelmed against more than one target). so he does this to Ghoul and since his he's a new cape and is not fully under control of his changer powers yet, his brute form drops as soon as hes calm and hes just. some sad disheveled looking guy.

so clarence sees this guy who is just. so incredibly lost. whether thats because of case 53 amnesia or like. post-trigger, post-changer state disorientation, hes just. like. pathetic. hes not being a villain because hes evil hes just doing things because he doesnt know what else to do. so clarence, who is way too kindhearted for his own good, offers to help him. and mal, who has probably never given this sort of softness in his life. just immediately fucking melts into it. of course he accepts that offer he has nothing else to do! he doesnt really care about being a hero or a villain or anything like that (having a morality crisis is boring and a waste of time) but this man is literally glowing and offering him a hand to hold and a purpose and something other than just mindless destruction

so mal drops the name Ghoul and gets his changer powers better under control and properly develops his master powers instead of his brute powers and becomes what essentially ends up being Whisperer's sidekick under the new name Purgatory (which. i really made on a whim at the time but now that i have had time to think about it really has a lot of significance to his character and state of mind and it makes me SICK)

mal has a sort of hero worship crush on clarence like. thats His Hero. thats the guy who picked him up off the ground and helped him stand out of the kindness of his heart and they know each other out of costume now and even in his civilian life clarence is funny and laid back and so easy to talk to and. mal is not those things. god he is so down bad. relationship wise i will point to this convo which i still stand by

but i think like. both in and out of costume theyre kind of inseparable. mal is like. suuuper super protective over clarence to the point where its kind of an intimidation factor to other people. scary dog privilege or whatever. i like to refer to it as like... if clarence was a prince mal would be his loyal knight. if mal was an animal he would be a falcon (fast, sharp, dangerous, always returns to its master etc etc etc).

its also really important to me that clarence DOES NOT see their relationship like this at all he is so. oblivious. or if hes not oblivious he just doesnt do anything about it or puts it out of his mind or whatever. i think one of clarences big flaws is that hes almost too laid back about certain things that he maybe should care about a little more? big "itll be fine" in situations where things . PROBABLY will not be fine if he doesnt do something about it. so while he doesnt really purposefully encourage mals weird hero worship with him he also doesnt really do anything to dissuade it either. so thats how we get to. where we get to. with them. ouhghhh boy.

i already talked abt this pretty in depth in the other post but trickster appears, kills clarence in front of mal, and it just BREAKS something fundamental in him. once the trickster throws him out of the city i think the prt has to drag him away kicking and screaming because theres NO way he would willingly walk away from that (ESPECIALLY because... clarence's body is still there. he never got a proper funeral or burial or anything hes just.... there on the street or on the roof of a building like hes nothing). they probably put him in some kind of custody which he inevitably breaks out of and goes out on his own. i think he tries to go back to the city only to find the walls already in place and no way to get in without fighting a LOT of soldiers and ripping through a lot of anti-cape measures. which he is emotionally willing to do, but hes not stupid. he knows he needs backup. so he seeks out the worlds most dangerous most awful notorious capes ever. and thats how he ends up with the slaughterhouse 9! his eventual goal with them is to manipulate them into helping him get back into amity and kill the trickster. which is OBVIOUSLY not how things turn out, but thats his motivation at least.

when wraith ends up in the public eye with the new haven wards and his costume is sooooo so eerily close to the whisperer, mal kind of Leaves the s9 for a bit? hes still a member and everything, he doesnt actively quit or betray them or anything bc thats like asking to get killed, but he stops travelling with them in order to. whats the nicest way i can say this. research? the wards. specifically wraith. that little unhinged piece of his mind that snapped when clarence was killed gives him this horrible idea that wraith is just.. clarence reincarnated. its probably been close to 20ish years since the amity incident at this point, so the timing even lines up close enough for him to be convinced. so that starts his weird obsession with william, which eventually involves him nominating william as a potential candidate to join the s9 in the trials (william has a Complex about this) and other fucked up things like the tide fridge (<< our loving name for when mal kidnaps tide and keeps him in jars or whatever in the spirit world in canon etc)

hes my favorite fucked up little guy!!!!!!! i hate him so much i want to hit him with hammers but also ive had a specific stained glass art piece depicting the biblical purgatory that i really want to draw as him and clarence so like. take that as you will. im obsessed with them i think abt them so much even though clarence has like no bearing on the actual plot of nhw since the whole "william is the next whisperer" thing is nonexistent. i got distracted writing this a FEW times so i maybe forgot some things so if theres anything else u want to know about them... hmu. i love 2 talk abt them so much <3

[laithraihan]

I'm the anon who sent you the long message that apparently came off "pompous & infantilizing" and more to your followers.

I find it interesting that that message sparked such a flood of defenders, when I did not send it in bad faith at all. From your answer it seems I'm lacking context so sorry if I took some of your statements the wrong way, but nonetheless I just found the parental love addition strange and reacted to that, that was all there was to it. I clearly stated (three times) I'm not taking any issue with your headcanons.

By saying they are far removed from canon I did not mean to say they are "too unrealistic" or something is wrong with that, I literally said the opposite. I meant just that, that factually, this will not be a common interpretation for someone who is familiar with the source material but not your blog. This is not a statement that I made with any judgemental value and I thought I made that very clear but apparently not.

So I'm sorry for the additional ask.

Have a nice day.

Thank you for the response.

I was fully aware you said there was no issue with what I drew, but the way you wrote everything else sort of negated that statement. At least that's how me and many other people saw it.

If someone finds what I drew strange or confusing then they could always just... block me or ask me about it (and btw I expected people to be confused, otherwise I wouldnt have labeled it "non-coupling" as soon I posted it lol)

Someone did ask me about it, and you seem to have already seen that response, yet you still felt the need to send another message basically implying that an explanation wasn't enough (turns out it actually wasnt enough because people said I was lying and in denial) and that my explanation was weird too? Which is whatever I already ended up clarifying that, English is not my first language and I type things with the help of a translator (I wish people could actually keep this in mind. I only type in English because it'll reach a wider audience and it's the language most of my followers know. Often I have to google words people tell me online, or I ask my friends fluent in English to explain things for me)

You can say "that's not what I intended" but that's how it came across... you wrote a lot of nice words while also saying it was understandable that people were ganging up on me over a drawing, it seemed patronizing.

That's why me and others took offense to it, but I think it's difficult to tell tone through text so I don't want to keep nitpicking this any further. If you say you had no ill intent then I believe you.

The following will just be me adding more context and not necessarily aimed at you: Again I understand the lack of context of my account can make people confused about my art, Ive made that clear many times.

The art I made where I said "if your parents didnt love you then it's obvious" was a direct response to people who were mocking me specifically for tagging the art as "non-coupling" because they didnt believe me. They got the context and decided I was trying to hide a fetish because a kiss on the cheek was "obviously shippy". They proceeded to compare this to drawing NSFW of Mob and Reigen by labelling it "non-ship" as if it was comparable to tucking a child into bed, that's what upset me. I did absolutely nothing to these people, I dont know them, if they said this privately I wouldnt care but it was public, and they also targeted another friend of mine for no reason.

All Im gonna say is that my drawing shouldnt have caused this much controversy in the first place. I labeled it "non-coupling" as soon as I posted it, which should've been enough honestly. It's not like I posted porn or anything like that, I got the idea from something Ive experienced in my family as a teenager and I could easily google stock images of the exact same scenario to use as reference, like I really didnt think it was that bad.

Anyways I think I've explained myself many times already. Im not gonna be hostile and say to people "roh t9awed dont ever send me anything else related to this" but just.. check if Ive already answered your question so that it doesnt end up being repetitive. If you have a question about this that I havent answered yet, then feel free to ask.

[landhoe-norris]

i dont usually send asks bc im shy even if there are anon but i have somethings to say

first of all i hope you get that plus on the pregnancy test that you so want! i think it is a beautiful thing to want and to have so much love to give to someone else. while i dont understand the pain that it is losing a child (i am so sorry for your loss btw) i think that they will always be there with you and the rest of your fam.

secondly please please please dont listen to the haters (you might not listen to them but for my piece of mind i feel i need to tell you this anyways) while i love this fandom i am not blind to the hate that still exists specially towards creators (which is honestly soooo dumb)

anyways i hope you have a great days filled with good news and that it lasts all week. sending lots of love from spain (and a fellow carlando truther)

(i hope that i didnt speak out of turn in any of the delicate topics i really meant this to be supportive but if you feel it any of it was offensive please let me know i would never want to be the cause of more pain if i could)

thank you so much ❤️ you do not know how much this means to me. this is an incredibly tiring process, and i'm not sure how much i can take of it. i have two tries left and i don't know what's gonna happen after that. i'm getting older and i just feel like time is running out.

i'm not listening to the haters ❤️ i've been sent everything imaginable and i'm not gonna let that affect me. i love being here (not always nut most of the time). i just wish i had more people on here that actually liked me cause i'm a very nice person.

[neilamina]

(all caps are to bring attention not an indicator of voice)

1. I did not deny jews are, I do not need to say it out explicitly because palestinian includes (Muslims, Christians, jews) , zionism is a western made belief to exterminate the indigenous population regardless of their religion (and for Jewish Palestinians if they do not comply and accept this state)

2. I agree, jews DESERVE a country to be safe in, but when their country needs to be built on GENOCIDE and kicking out people who already live there, then here's the problem (this goes with any religion btw , again colonialism is bad , being oppressed doesn't make you entitled to doing the same thing that happened to you to other people)

3. Regardless, I didn't insult Judaism nor jews , I separated them from a political belief that aims to commit genocide. I don't believe I did something that is offensive in this regard.

4. I agree, many zionists don't agree with the current government, but that doesn't mean they're poor little innocent souls, again the belief of the need of Israel to exist just mean KICKING OUT PALESTINIANS FROM THEIR HOMELAND AND GENOCIDING THEM WHEN THEY DONT COMPLY.

5. Maybe that is your belief but the mass belief of zionists only aims to do this OF and only of you're Jewish, and / or willing to comply and praise Israel for existing as a homeland to ONLY JEWISH PEOPLE , again , ethno states are bad.

6. Pretty sure trapping people (of a certain ethnicity, race or religion) in open air concentration camps , indiscriminately bombing , forced famine and the dehumanisation, besides the entire situation happening in gaza is something that both Israel and nazis did, as well as statements from holocaust survivors and their decendents are more than enough indicator.

7. I'm not anti semitic since I have no problem with jews at all, I have a problem with zionists (of any religion, ethnicity , race etc) anyone who believes that Israel is 8n the right or whatever has been happening to Palestinians for the past 75+ years is OK or 'deserved' (as I was personally told by Israelis and zionazis) I have a problem with and yes they don't deserve a safe space, would a nazi deserve a safe space? Heck no! Why should a zionist with a similar ideology? Just different people as the target of the oppression? Being oppressed doesn't mean you get to oppress others with no repercussions.

8. Again, no problem with jeudaism as a faith, and I am boycotting any company that supports zionism , including marvel.

9. Palestinians don't have to pay the price of what Europeans did, Israel is a colonial project meant to get rid of as much Jews as they could and put them in palestine instead of fixing their antisemitism problem and actually being safe for jews and protecting them from the holocaust happening again. It is a also a way for the west to keep tabs on the middle East.

10. The goal should be making it safe in general for jews to be around the world NOT CREATING A JEWS ONLY NATION. Cause that in of itself is still feeding into the same problem and creating even more hostility cause obv the colonised people (Palestinians) will have a right to fight back against the occupation.

Reminder to post about palestine in fandoms you're in, integrate it into your posts , don't leave any safe spaces for zionists , Palestinians don't get to be free, they don't get to be comfortable.

How do you come up with redemption arcs for characters that in canon are... Pretty unredeemable? I suppose it's a lot of subjective opinions but for example Lucius Malfoy in siat. In canon I would say not a good dude but I like what you've done with him. Same with Jiang Cheng I dont care much about him in canon but I love him in your fics. There are loads of examples really! It baffles me how you manage it😂 (I mean for this to come of as curious and not like rude/offensive btw, I think it's really creative and wondering about your process with it)

uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh okay i'll do my best to explain. sorry in advance if i do a bad job T_T

i guess i don't really think of them as redemption arcs? honestly the idea of redemption doesn't really hold a lot of water with me because. it's just not real, you know? there's no cosmic checkbook where you can do something bad, go into the red, and work yourself into the black with enough good deeds or self actualization

it just doesn't matter

a bowl once broken cannot become unbroken. you can glue it together, but the cracks will remain, and it won't change the fact that you broke it. redemption to me is like deserving mercy - by it's very definition, impossible. because if you deserve mercy, it's not mercy. it's justice

instead, there is growth, and there is forgiveness, and neither of these things have to do with each other. it's just when you combine these things, people call that a redemption arc

you can grow into the type of person that doesn't break bowls and that is good for society and for yourself because that means there are less broken bowls. you can be forgiven for breaking the bowl, or not, but it has no bearing on the likelihood that that you'll break another bowl

paradoxically, when i have a disliked character that i want you to like, i don't tend to go for either growth or forgiveness

i also don't erase the thing people dislike them for. i think that's the laziest way to try and make a character palatable, even though i know it's a popular one. add. don't subtract

we dislike canon lucius malfoy because he's a death eater on the wrong side of the war who gives in to voldemort past the point he even believes in the cause anymore. siat lucius malfoy ... is a death eater on the wrong side of the war who gives in to voldemort past the point he even believes in the cause anymore.

but he loves his son, and his wife, and when his son's life is on the line, he chooses draco. when draco's good opinion of him is on the line, he chooses that. not once, or twice, but always. he still participated in the first war. he's still a bigot. he still let's voldemort take over his home. but when push comes to shove, he loves draco, and we love draco and - that's enough. the terrible things he's done are distant and theoretical and his love for his family is right there and so we can focus on one over the other. i don't try to make him a good person. one of the og siat tags is literally "lucius malfoy is a bad person but a good father" and that's it in a nutshell. we like him because he's a good father and it's fiction and in fiction being a good dad outweighs being a war criminal. he punches voldemort in the face and switches side but it's not because of personal growth - it's because his son is and always has been his line and voldemort has crossed it and has to deal with the consequences just like anyone else

jiang cheng is hard because i really don't think he did anything wrong. i couldn't get into the novel, so i pretty much only go off the show. he made the best choices he could given the information he had, since he didn't know that wei wuxian had beein in the burial mounds or gave up his golden core or any of that. i legitimately don't believe he meant to kill wei wuxian because that narratively makes absolutely zero sense. he was on wei wuxian's side up until he thought he was responsible for their sister's death. and before that he got frustrated with him for being a drunkard and not helping him when he said he would, and like - who wouldn't? wei wuxian could have told him the truth but didn't. wei wuxian lied to him constantly. i love them both but they're both responsible here. but besides that, people don't like him because he's angry and represses his emotions and is quick to blame wei wuxian when things go wrong. and that's true in my stories too.

i don't make him into a different person and i don't change what he did (again, i really truly think that he killed him on accident because since when does being thrown off a cliff kill a cultivator). and in my post canon stories, he has to deal with the consequences of his actions and decide how he's going to deal with them. i don't think jiang cheng is emotionally immature. i think he's emotionally very mature. i just think he has a temper and poor impulse control and a strong sense of guilt, and that is not the same thing as being immature. he understands how other people think and act and their perceptions a lot better than wei wuxian does, he knows how to play the game a lot better than he does. jiang cheng successfully rebuilt and led a clan in terrible political climate and that's not something he could do without understanding people. the problem is wei wuxian goes out of his way to be deliberately misunderstood and had his own guilt and self worth issues that run right up against jiang cheng's. but that doesn't make either of them bad people. it just makes them complicated

oh geez that was a whole lot. did that help at all?? maybe???

[inkdrop-flags]

Since a big topic at the moment is wether or not transrace/trace/diarace, transage, transpecies and transabled are vaild and well intended terms, we just want to state our opinion as a native and disabled person who is otherkin and partisipates in 100% sfw age regression.

We will never support any trans-x identities and those who use them.

Race, disablity, species and age are the facts of reality and have nothing to do with gender. They are not social contructs the way that gender and (sometimes) sexuality is. They are especially not used in good faith; Transabled is often used by ableists who fetishize disabled peoples pain and experiences, transage was named so by pedophiles who wanted to co-opt transgender language to say that because they "identify" as children its ok to have sex with them, transrace was made by white people who fetishize poc, transpecies was litterally coined by a zoophile who used the same argument as the pedos.

Using these terms means you accept the community behind them which is not a good community at all. We will never support these labels and we dont want anyone who dose to interact with us or our content.

We wont get emotional here because we've let out most of our anger by venting to others but just know that we utterly despise every single one of you. Especially the trace/transrace shit. Its so fucking racist and we as a native are incredibly offended.

As a disclaimer, we want to say a few things.

Concerning transage: we 100% support people who feel like they are more or less mature due to neurodivergency and trauma however, you can just... Say that. Its not an identity. We also support sfw age regressors and people whose age is alittle funky due to system related reasons. We support people who feel like they are a different age than reality and those who are a different age in headspace however we will never support people who try to make up terms for it or try to say they are bodily a different age than they actually are.

Concerning transrace: there is no exceptions here. Its abhorrent no matter the excuse. There is no good reason anyone of any race should be identifying as a race they are not. Yes theres people like us who are mixed and identify as one of our races more than the other but we are still that actual race. The only examples we have EVER seen are 99% white people trying to be native, black or asian and expressing their "transracial identity" in the most sterotypically racist way and 1% poc trying to be white to escape oppression. There is never a good reason and there is no way to.

Transpecies: this one is a little iffy as we 100% support otherkins, aldernics and non-humans in headspace but you could litterally just call yourself otherkin or the 2 billion other terms for therianity that WASNT coined by a zoophile.

Lastly being trans-abled: god this one is like the second worst. We have chronic pain and are physcially disabled. The fact that you think you want to be in daily pain and have your abledness removed just cause you think it'd be fun to roll around in a wheelchair and get some sympathy is so fucking offensive and entitled. The only good reason for this is if you have biid and even then youre not disabled, you are mentally ill and the way to treat that is not fucking intentionally disabling yourself. Btw, if you intentionally disabled yourself, you wont be accepted into the larger disabled community and i will personally gatekeep you from it. Its not fucking funny and you are ableist as fuck. Its a pretty common physically disabled opinion that we dont like those who fetishize us. Not to mention biid is considered as real as munchausen by proxy aka very controversial. Idek if i think its a real thing.

Idk maybe its a sign of serious mental health problems that require immediate medical attention if you want to cut off your arm for attention and sympathy cause you think disabled people's lives are just so easy and we are universally loved and cared for and not constantly infantized, disbelieved or demonized/sarcastic.

Final thoughts is that even if you have an experience aligned with trans-x, theres better terms for it that dont co-opt trans language to justify bigotry, allow abuse or cause more fetishization. Please reevaluate your experiences and why you feel the way you do and why you think you should belong to a group you arent in things more physical and less societal. These communities are ridden with bigoty, abuse, fetishization and general distain for the communities who didnt have to " transition" to said age, race, species or disability. Theres a reason why these things are regarded as bad.

And again, just for clarification, fuck you trans-xs. Die jealous.

[myinnerartist]

Part 3 lets goooo!!

And all of this to say,

To answer thevyladsafespace's question,

The pinpoint inspiration would be

Fantasy Japanese Fashion.

OR more accurately

Anime.

The show itself is already GENUINELY an anime. Change it to anime style animation and you got yourself an anime you wouldn't be able to tell from any other. It fits RIGHT in. Their outfits really hit most Anime fashion too.

So. Yeah.

Let's pack our bags. Thanks for coming to my long winded explanation....

.

.

.

Oh why hasn't the post ended? I gave an ans-

I have, my personal answer, (and belief) that there

Wasn't inspiration for their outfits OR the show.

Or, well, inspiration that wasn't used in a genuine way.

But what do i mean by ingenuine inspiration? And tbh, i dont know how to explain. But.. ill do my best.

By first raising a question.

Why?

Why was this show created? What was the reason to create this show?

Cause i can't see it. I can't see any love or passion that was put into this show, or the story, or the characters.

Was the reason because of a demand? People begging for something new, or a continuation of something else? Tired of ONLY seasons of mystreet, and want something refreshing?

Was this show made by just taking things from anime and just. Mixing them together to make a story? A new story?

Was this show just made... to satisfy the people?...

This show feels like aphmau did the BARE MINIMUM on EVERYTHING, the worldbuilding, the story, the characters, their designs!

Why would you not explore the characters? Unless you dont know them yourself?

Why would you mash so much comedy into a story concept that requires a lot of care and so much more seriousness? Especially Daemos.

Why include a Romance if you're not going to explore the chemistry between the characters?

Is the Harem included because its popular in anime? (Romance is included because its aphmau... how wouldn't there be lmao (with my heart i mean this NON OFFENSIVELY, btw. I meant it more in a light-hearted joking way!!))

The (non explored or used in a different way) character tropes fit.

The sexualization of the boys fit.

Despite them acting like children. Not even like teens in some cases.

This doesn't feel like it was inspired by anime, but rather TOOK things from anime and just slapped it together with tape.

This show doesn't feel like it made from genuine inspiration or interest, and made without love or passion.

But please do not get me wrong.

I am GRATEFUL for the existence of this story. I APPRECIATE this story exists.

Without this story we wouldn't have gotten a small fandom for it that is full of such talented and amazing people. We wouldn't have gotten rewrites for this story! We wouldn't have gotten funky fanfics for it /aff /not-neg.

Without this story, i wouldn't have made something that has helped me through alot. Something that I've poured blood, sweat and tears into. Something that makes me truly proud in myself for something I've created. And its thanks to the existence of this story/show.

But its through my gratitude, i want to address the flaws of this show. Because despite my appreciation, i want to talk about the problems of this show.

And through both, to see others finally let this show blossom into the amazing show it could've been. With all their awesome ideas.

Thank you for coming to my ted-talk.

I am so sorry this was so long all over the place i do not know how to propely connect dots together in explanations.

Im sorry if i said anything that upset anyone. Btw. I did not mean to. But i wanted to share my feelings on things as well.

Amd im sorry if i gotten anything wrong, i will learn from any mistakes i have made and correct them.

Thank everyone for reading. And have a good day/noon/night!

*Kicks Down Door*

it's me, ya boi, Load.

And I have some things to say.

But i want to mention @-thevyladsafespace for their post;

^^^ this one ^^^

Where they asked what the inspiration(s) was for the boys' outfits. Having a few guesses of their outfits being inspired by chinese/japanese fashion or dnd/generic fantasy style of fashion.

And, in my opinion, yes!

But... also no.

Lemme explain, But first;

I want to talk about their Daemos outfits. And my thoughts/opinions on the...

Starting with their Daemos Outfits;

And starting with

Noi;

who i actually i think his outfit fits Japanese Inspiration the most!

(Before i explain, i want to say i am not from japan or have visited, nor am i an expert, but i have watched MANY videos about japanese culture from LetsaskShogo on youtube! I highly recommend checking him out. He goes into everything about japan, its history, its culture, its fashion, Noh thearte, tea ceremonies, everything!) (Japanese culture is a special interest of mine, ahah)

His left side of his shirt is over his right side, which japanese traditional kimono style of clothing MUST have! (Wearing the left over right is a MUST in their culture, for only the dead or non-living wear the RIGHT side over the LEFT. It therefore symbolizes death.)

The closest reference for his shirt i can find rn is this one; (which if i remember right are called dogi!)

Additionally,

Useing this image as reference;

His pants are very similar to a style/type of Hakama pants (unfortunately, i have forgotten the name of them. I think a name for them was Karusan, but i may be wrong!!)

Image reference of the pants im talking about;

(They were worn by 'samurai' or otherwise japanese soldiers as a better alternative to hakama due to the pants better ease of movement and more suitability armor.)

Other than that though, he doesn't wear anything else that is SIMILAR to traditional japanese fashion.

Onto my opinions and thoughts about his design;

I love Noi's design the most. He is the most well designed out of the boys'. If i were to change his design, i would keep most of it.

He's an 8/10 for me.

Deducted points because WHY? WHY WITH HIS ARM. Omg. no... No. No!! his design literally would've been perfectly okay IF HIS ARM. WASNT-

give him his sleeve back pls... why was it taken away? What crimes did it commit?? Was color contrast against the armor wanted so badly ThEy TOOK AWAY HIS SLEEVE?? That's worse!! That's worse than just leaving his sleeve alone 😭😭😭

In fact, it would look BETTER if the sleeve was kept unyoinked!!

I apologize for how harsh i may sound. But i can't. I just can't.

Moving onto

Pierce;

My second favorite character~

I believe he is the second closest to having most Japanese inspiration.

With his utterly blue coat, that is the main point of interest in his design... that does look a lot like a kimono.

But i sure hope it isn't because the way he's wearing it makes me want to go

"DISHONER ON YOU!! DISHONOR ON YOUR COW!!"

- (mulan/mushu reference)

And that what he SHOULD be wearing would be similar to a Haori-jacket

Which what it looks like;

(The Haori is a traditional japanese hip or thigh length jacket that is typically worn over a kimono.)

His coat is, however, a Kimono's length. (Maybe even a little longer, actually, kimonos typically only reach the ankles. But the way he wears whatever he wears, could make it look longer than it should be or is.)

Additionally his sleeves and;

The absolute abomination his outfits back is. What the genuine *🐬 noise* happened.

The way his the back of the outfit is, it means that if he wears the unworn sleeve, the back will be SO DROOPED!! It would not be funny or sexy 😔

Here is a reference for how a kimono (though with longer/larger sleeves) with one sleeve not being worn would look;

(i am so sorry, but idk who the artist is and can not find them. Googling bee-com led to (i think) a bitcoin website, and katahada nugi was just for information for samurai armor.) (If anyone knows it would be very appreciated!)

*sigh*

Moving onto my thoughts and opinions on Pierce's design;

Pierce's deisgn is... rather simple. Other than the pattern on his pants.

... tbh i dont really know what else to say. It's simple, basic, the coat, arm-brace, and patten on his pants are the only points of interest in his design. (Other than his tattoo but we'll talk about it later.)

I'd rate him 3/10.

There's... Something. Theres a something... But it's not executed well (or at all) in his design. His (disaster of a coat that deducted points) coat and that something, is his saving grace of a few points.

.

.

And i WANT TO CONTINUE THIS in the same post and I PROMISE YOU, i am going somewhere i do i do i just,

In order to continue i NEED the photo space, what do i mean? i mean THERES A PHOTO LIMIT OF 10 ON POSTS!!! TUMBLR WHY 10??? 10??? 10 PHOTOS ONLY???

***insert image of a depressed man bent over in a blue school chair meme***

.

But i hope you stay tuned and to see you in part 2!! (And most likely part 3... oh boy. Im so sorry)

Again, i promise im going somewhere with this i just need time to cook and get the foundations down first. AND THE PHOTO SPAc-

[calebwittebane]

How did cwc fuck up tes? genuinely curious abt your thoughts on this

well its a bit of a story

the portrayal of sotha sil in it had a lot of potential - im not at all opposed to sotha sil being well-meaning but extremely arrogant pretentious and blinded by his own selfish, sheltered approach, that caused him to create a technological dystopia he deemed a paradise. all of the almsivi are extremely flawed and i think thats what makes them cool, truly human gods, and that in itself couldve been really really interesting, however unfortunately it was played so strangely, like... straightfowardly? in a "he's right" way. like the player is somehow Not supposed to find him insufferable. the Manpain Garden (which btw people have been yelled at for calling it that) really did it for me, like, oh no, a woman called him boring and distant one time, how tragic. like hes supposed to be the Good Guy of the tribunal as opposed to Mean Almalexia and Silly Vivec (both of which are such shallow and borderline offensive ways to characterize them too)

however i think what REALLY sucks is that they brought back divayth fyr and made him one of the main characters of the dlc. and look i know i say a lot that fictional bad people are funny but theres nothing funny about divayth fyr the incest pedo guy and i despise the way hes portrayed in eso and i despise everything surrounding it. eso twitter even made a fathers day joke about it but deleted it as soon as they rightly realized that it was kinda fucked up

for the above reasons eso:cwc caused a HUGE rift in tes fandom where some people criticized it and made fun of it and some people felt a strong attachment to it and felt slighted by that, plus not all people who learned about divayth fyr thru eso were initially aware of how he is in tes3 and reacted to such information in a range of ways, including but not limited to saying that actually people who like morrowind are evil and want such a despicable character to exist (im not even gonna start unpacking this) and are fucked up for not "rejecting" his tes3 portrayal to instead pretend hes just this cool quirky wizard. which, im not gonna delve into any individual persons, like, personal reasons to approach a character a certain way, but its beyond bizarre to make this kinda statement and act like its unreasonable to be repulsed by this whole ordeal

the rift this caused... pretty much ruined online tes fandom permanently. like there are just like two camps now, with Clockwork City DLC Enjoyers on twitter talking about how tesblr (aka everyone who disagrees with them) is elitist and mean and Scoffs At People Who Dont Know Enough Lore (all untrue but w/e), and that reaches completely new people as their first impression of the fandom, thus deepening the rift. it made a lot of major contributors completely check out, because not only did they feel excluded by all the new content, but also by the community. and mind you before all of that tesblr was like, not a terribly huge community, but an always-growing one, with lots of discussions and contributions and fan content and inside jokes, and i just dont really see that anymore aside from small circles of people still passionate about very specific topics, which i assume is where the impression of being Inaccessible and Closed Off comes from. lots of people became really disillusioned with tes in general and moved on to different stuff. there was some drama that dragged for literal years, lots of vagueposting, conflicts, it was just all like.... unpleasant.

so yeah theres a very active eso-focused community on twitter that i dont personally interact with because they all hate me and a handful of people on tumblr. so, kinda not what it used to be. well theres always also r/teslore and other tes subreddits, but lemme tell you when it comes to any video game related topics never go on reddit never go on reddit neeeever go on reddit never go on reddit neeeever go on reddit never go on reddit, neeeever go on reddit wow wow wowwoowww

[risquewonu]

hi blossom! i really enjoy your blog but i have a bit of an issue I guess? on one of your kink ships you said that joshua would be really into lesbian porn and that makes me REALLY uncomfortable!!! i'm non-binary but mainly attracted to women and i just don't like the idea of my ult fetishizing wlw relationships. i don't want to cause any problems but i'm just saying maybe it isn't the best to post that stuff, i hope you understand. hope ur doing well btw!!!

heyo anon! this is super old, and ive just been coming on to this acc recently to go down memory lane and whatnot lmao but i saw this ask and tbh idek if you'll ever even see this, but i just want to address it for anyone who might stumble upon this acc again!

firstly, thank you sooo much for sending me this message! seriously it opens my eyes to be more careful with my words bc i totally get how that could come off as smth offensive and weird?? esp with the fetishization that a lot of wlw or just queer people in general experience. its def smth i struggle with (hey im queer too lmao) discovering myself and this is as much as a horny space as it is a safe space. i dont ever wanna make someone feel uncomfortable while thirsting ye know?

i went back and found the post you were referring to and i am so sorry for wording it so horribly. just to clarify, when i wrote that out i meant it more in this way: imo josh isnt the type to be strictly into straight porn. aka he thinks all porn is hot bc.... porn lmao and that includes lesbian porn. i just zoned in specifically on lesbian porn bc that's what the original anon had sent to me, so i used it in their personal kink ship. but in noooooo way did i mean that he sexualizes queer people in that way. again i am seriously so sorry i worded it so badly and possibly made people uncomfortable with my words.

i'm going to edit the original post rn to avoid any further confusion and be more careful with how i go about posting things (if i ever get back into it). anon if you're still out there and reading this, thank you so much for sending this to me so i can learn from it in the future, and for being so kind about how you brought it to me! hopefully one day you see this and know you improved me as a person <3

HELL YEAH JUDE 

PREACH

STAND UP FOR YOURSELF BBY BOY

ALSO HEY BRANDON YOU PIECE OF SHIT

WHAT THE FUCK DUDE

I’M STILL PISSED AT HIM

Ju: you’re no better than liam >:(

Me: FUCK HIM UP BABY BOY

B: I love callie

[egregious puking noises]

Look ship whatever you want

Just acknowledge when things are problematic

Ship brallie to your heart’s content as long as you don’t condone in*est IRL

I’m not here to police ppl, I’m just giving opinions no one asked for cause that’s the entire purpose of this blog

Oh no jude

Poor boy

I literally hate brandon sm he needs to get his shit together

[aggressive vibing to the theme song]

[weeping] you’re surrounded by love and you’re wanted

I used to think the theme was cheesy

Now i literally love it sm

The RUBBER DUCKY

THE HAND HOLDING

Ugh ads

I really think people are overlooking jude’s feelings rn

Omfg stef’s mom (her name is sharon, bee)

I love her

I love jude and sharon’s dynamic it’s 

Chef’s kiss

Immaculate

Sh: I’m not gonna break up with him cause I love his bed

“Subtext, by calvin klein ;)”

Oh right this is the bed that fucks up their marriage

Ju: I’m a taco :D

Me: [I can’t find it but the clip from b99 where boyle says I’m gonna need a minute

It cuts to a black screen that says one minute later than cuts back to charles tear and snot stained face after clearly crying a lot

But yeah that’s me rn]

Oh god not more jesus lexi drama

I wish mariana and jesus got along better

Also jake t austin jesus walked so noah centineo jesus could run

I love that typed out it looks like I mean jesus the religious figure

Oh shit 

Lexi needs to stop gatekeeping and mariana needs to stop taking the division of time as a personal offense

I mean she and jesus are both taurus so I’m not surprised they’re clashing

Oh god callie why did you run away w wyatt

I hate wyatt

I hate the aliens dialogue

W: the government is making it seem fake oOoOoH

Literally hate it

Callie “he’s better off without me” addams foster is getting on my last fuckin nerve

Like the insensitivity?????

The not actually caring about the people around you under the guise of caring about them??????

The only difference between martyrdom and soupyslide is press coverage

The whole Wyatt And Callie On The Run thing is getting old and it’s been happening for like 10 minutes

Self sacrifice isn’t cute sis

WYATT WHAT THE FUCK

He claims to care about her and yet

Deletes the fucking voicemail from her mom??????????

What???????

Christ stef is fucking crying

Sh: my love…

STEF AND HER MOM BOTH CALL PPL MY LOVE 

SO FUCKING CUTE

Now wyatt is playing the good guy???F???

Okay hold up

Look

Callie and brandon are both at fault for kissing each other at stef and lena’s wedding

which was SO cute btw

the wedding not the gross kiss

I will say that callie, who was literally r*ped by L*am, was incredibly emotionally volatile then bc everything with him had been stirred up and she just found out he wouldn’t go to jail

No one would be surprised if she did something impulsive and self destructive bc of the trauma, especially something related to having an inappropriate relationship with a foster brother

Brandon knew about all of this and he wasn’t having flashbacks or a bunch of trauma about anything 

He should have stopped her or at least pushed her away 

And he didn’t 

I’m not saying Callie isn’t at fault too, what I am saying is that brandon had more responsibility in that situation and didn’t do what a decent person would do

WYATT AND BRANDON ARE BOTH BAD FOR CALLIE

SHE DOESN’T NEED A RELATIONSHIP RN SHE NEEDS A LOVING SUPPORTIVE FAMILY

Callie is so clearly sprialing rn

At least Wyatt is actually trying to help her

No one can handle a stressful situation in this show

I can’t describe how much I hate the pseudo end of the fucking world energy they’re going for

At least wyatt had the decency to not immediately try to share a bed w her

I like how flustered he gets cuddling her

That’s cute at least

I don’t like that callie didn’t consider that sharing a bed would make him nervous or uncomfy

OH SHIT THERE THEY ARE

MOMS HAVE ENTERED THE CHAT

And now callie, feeling trapped again, is going to run away yet again

And do something impulsive

Yet again

Jfc

Look I have trauma and a strong fight or flight response too, but I dont hurt the people I love

Hitching a ride with a trucker??????????? She’s going to put herself in a very avoidable irreversibly bad situation

I love mike getting to be a good dad figure

It’s rare with the whole alcoholic plot

I really hate that too btw

He has a comforting presence

Let him be a good dad

Mariana you can want to be vegan but pls don’t be a toxic vegan

Let people make their own choices

I love frazzled mike trying to be a good dad

I wish mariana would be a little bit more of a problem solver

If she doesn’t want any animal products or peanut butter offer to make your own lunch maybe??????

I hate how fast Jesus and Mariana forgave brandon after the whole “We ToOk YoU iN wHeN NoOnE eLsE wAnTeD yOu!!! sTeF iS mY mOm!!!!” bullshit

“Mom’s car won’t start” lmao

What the actual fuck callie 

If she’s this at risk for such self destructive behavior she needs way more help

HOT GIRL WITH PINK MULLET

MARRY ME

Oh god not the begging for a job scene

I hate this part

I’m a little over half way done with the episode so I’ll cut it here, part 2 will be up shortly

(5 min) mel come on

(6 min) please say something

(8 min) please look at your phone

(10 min) hello? MEL?

- missed call -

(12 min) Where are you? Melody. Come on.

(15 min) please pick up

Melody Oceana

Hey this is Percy, I've got Melody

Tod Sionnach

Percy?

Is she okay??

Melody Oceana

Attina's fiance, Attina being Melody cousin

I mean I dont think anyone is 'okay' so you might wanna define what you're asking

who are you btw?

Tod Sionnach

terrible with names, im sorry. faces all that.

i’m asking why she isnt the one messaging me at the moment honestly.

friend. i’m a good friend just checking up on a friend doing good friend like things. kinda.

Melody Oceana

she's kind of passed out but physically okay

Yeah good friend things

Tod Sionnach

passed out???

trust me not the time to evaluate my feelings good sir

she’s probably experiencing some kind of nightmare. a lot of people are

Melody Oceana

Yeah she saw someone's face and kind of just passed out

it was a kid too, weird, either way i'm trying to help her dont worry

Tod Sionnach

Where are you  h??

a kid? a boy??

just keep her close then... i know she’s probably seeing something awful

Melody Oceana

yeah he was probably 14/15 ish

yeah yeah, im sure tina would kill me if i didnt

Tod Sionnach

I don’t know how much you know but I think I know who that is

it’s picking on her worst fears and manifesting them.

please keep an eye on her. are you  h somewhere safe?

Melody Oceana

good for you, you two can have a little gush session after

Hatters, so yeah we're fine, where are you? have you seen any of Melody's family?

Tod Sionnach

huh? no just loss. she’s seeing someone she’s lost.

just so you have some context

wait earlier did you say tina?

tianas. Attina is here

Melody Oceana

Don't worry I'm not gonna say anything rude to her. I'm an asshole but not that much of one

oh thank god at the very least she's in somewhere

Tod Sionnach

thank you. just keep an eye out. I have to go out and stop this

she hasn’t been affected. she’s actually just fine

Melody Oceana

I'm sorry what the fuck

take your own advice and stay inside

Tod Sionnach

i know. alarming but I have to help somehow

You have to promise to keep an eye out and maybe tell a white lie if she wakes up and asks about me

Melody Oceana

fucking idiotic move but fine

Tod Sionnach

i know what I’m doing.

i think

i just don’t want her to be worried or anything

Melody Oceana

no offense kid unless you can deal with dark magic I doubt you can

Tod Sionnach

that’s the thing

i can. kinda

it’s brand new and i barely had a grip on this so i’m not in the mood to be thrown into it but it’s my job??

I guess?

i’m blabbering.

and hearing gunshots and it’s not real

Melody Oceana

no job is worth your life. Swynlake isnt that's for sure

panic and fear can be controlled

if apparently it's your job you're more powerful then it right

Tod Sionnach

I grew up here. I have to try to protect it, right?

any tips for that?

maybe. i hope so. to be honest i don’t really wanna die so that would be great.

Melody Oceana

sure that's a reason to do that.

focus on what's around and what's real. Choose one thing that you can hold onto and feel. Everything else isnt real

Tod Sionnach

greatest reason i got beyond hoping stopping this helps her too.

what is that one thing? another person? my own belongings?

Melody Oceana

whatever is accessible. if the thought of a person helps use that. If you physically have someone crazy enough to go there out with you stick close

but if you have a ring or a bracelet that holds significant meaning that works too

Tod Sionnach

i have a couple things in mind. peaceful. okay.

thank you.

if she wakes up and feels better, she can still ring me. But i’m fine as far as she’s concerned

Melody Oceana

sounds good, dude. best of luck

btw ### ### ####

(in which panic sends him his number)

(cause fucking hell he's an idiot)

Tod Sionnach

didn’t think of that. Thank you!

(32 min later to Percy) deLETE tHE CONvo when you cAN

bLOOD HELL

Percy Goldthwait

Oh so you finally realized

what if I said she was up and using her phone right now?

Tod Sionnach

Id say it was about time to pass away to shadow demons

Percy Goldthwait

HA! she's still asleep and i deleted them awhile ago

well all except

this

(insert screenshot of Tod freaking out and calling Melody)

Tod Sionnach

just gonna do me like that, aye? can you at least tell her i’m fine and that you messaged me back on your own phone?

Percy Goldthwait

yeah yeah, don't you want her to know you were concerned

i'll let her know

Tod Sionnach

LATER PLZ

THANK YOU

Percy Goldthwait

fic rec ❤

I have really high expectations of fics (even though I myself am a trash writer), so you can trust me when I say every fic in here will be some of the best shit you will ever read :)) Btw, all of these are Member X Reader. I’ll make a member x member one later, but tbh all of the ones i’ve read and liked of those are just taekook, so i dont think it’ll be very helpful. Not all of my fav fics are on here, because i’ve lost some of them :’( some members might be empty and thats only cause of my buttery ass fingers >:(

If you would like me to read your fics or you have any recommendations for me, PLEASE TELL?? I LIVE OF THESE.

(also if you couldn't tell, i'm a hoe for jimlingss and her writing, i rec all her fics so read all of them!!! you will not be disappointed)

(M) means smut, and if u're not blind or something you'll notice that im a sucker for smut. the ones with the (!) next to them have triggering or offensive content, so dont read if you know you cant handle it. all of these are amazing, but my most ultimate favourite ones are with the ❤ next to them

evens?

What got you into the game?

So. I saw this callout post for stuff in the game and I was like 'Yikes' but,the thing is that i like to form my own opinions, so being aware of what I could find,i went for the game. All the prologue felt fine,and besides some minor issues with the game I enjoyed it a bunch. Then at the route picking I picked Julian cause I love me edgy characters. But he's more charming and dorky than full on Edge and the rest is history nsfhsj

Who is your favorite route ?

Hands down Julian's, second fav is Muriel's in tie with Lucio's

Who do you play in heart hunter?

Malak ,shocking,i know

Who if the not playable LIs do you wish you could romance?

Please,,Courtier routes,please,, i beg

Opinion on Julian?

Love of my life (besides my irl bf,ofc who is pretty similar in personality)

nsdh with more detail,though

I think he's incredibly smart in the fields he's into (theatrics,dancing,music,medicine,sailing,street smarts)

I believe he was very hurt by past relationships (besides asra,i mean) and im 99% sure he has "internal" BPD

He's a very caring but unsure man who sort of always had this depression and guilt going on. yet he's caring,sweet,and incredibly respectful of boundaries, despite his inherent horny energy

Also on a more shallow note,I like extreme,Very lanky? Yes! Very chubby? excellent! Middle of the road twink-ish? nah fam. Plus,I love redheads and non bratty male subs and those tired eyes of his 💕

Opinion on Muriel?

Big mountain man is Traumatized and relatable

hes very sweet and timid despite being the most impressively built man in-game, hes the least "macho" stereotype. I feel his trauma has been pretty realistically handled so far,especially in his route. considering yknow,that in vesuvia there's no therapist and he's broke and a loner

I also believe he truly used to enjoy training,especially sparring and general fight training for self defense (who ELSE was gonna save baby asra when magic wasnt enough? he's his friend y'all)

However being in zero control of his actions,ordered around to Kill or Else is more of a trigger to him (See: the scene in the coliseum in asra's route when he FOR REAL fights)

Opinion on Portia?

Portia oh sweet lovely Portia! she's amazing but has issues with downplaying herself under her cocky outer personality

Think lucio but less traumatized and with heavy brother issues plus being Kind and loving to cope,instead of lashing out.

She lives not only taking care of others (Nadia,Julian,The palace,Pepi,the garden,hell even MC in other routes besides hers) but had to grown up being responsible and more inherently Mature than her older brother to make up for him leaving early in life. Thats a LOT of responsibility. She gave up her pirate dreams a long time ago and relegated to just be an impossible longing

Fears abandonment a lot,hence she hates lying,cause the break of trust has to be the one thing she resents the most with Julian (in her latest update,she seems not shocked that julian was in a secret dungeon,or even killed. it's the fact that he worked willingly with valdemar,and that he lied to her about it,probably in a letter at some point)

Deserves Better

Have you bought any of the official merch?

Im painfully broke

How many arcana themed blogs do you have?

Only this one!

Self insert or apprentice insert?

Unpopular opinion but self insert ALL the way, no offense to y'all with apprentices,more power to you! but I NEED to know IM the one being loved by MY LI nsdhd

If there is one thing that could be made with the arcana theme on it, what would it be

as in merch from Nix hydra? GOD a like. printed booklet of all the original sketches and concepts for the game,im So into that technical business

as for fancontent? This already exists but, art & fic fanzines! i love them! I REALLY want to participate in one as an artist,,

(and id reccomend @asrasotherbottom and @muriel-is-a-soft-boyo (and possibly @snasra-snasra if she were up for it) for writers for a fanzine)

What is your least favorite ship?

Asrian. for many many actual thought out reasons,that id be chill to talk about im DMs sometime. I dont hate asrian shippers though! not at all!

also in a silly note,I also dont like asrian cause it makes me uncomfortable because im Jealous and yknow,me,chubby real flesh, 3D shaped me, has NOTHING on Asra, a fictional kinky magical twink. I 'fear' Julian would ditch me for him in a blink ndfhjahdsjk

Thank you 💖👏

Im still taking these asks btw!!!
